Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

• Vasily Petrenko

8573188 • 747313318872

“an absolutely stonking performance from Vasily Petrenko’s Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Never has the insane logic of the piece been clearer or more acutely felt. The thrills and surprises are many, but there’s also a tragic inevitability. This is possibly the star turn of this conductor’s Shostakovich cycle.” -EDWARD SECKERSON, GRAMOPHONE
